“I don't go around criticising people's private artworks. I may not like some of them, but it is their business what they choose to put in their houses. However, as I have said before, architecture and the built environment affect us all.”
King Charles III
We must ban disposable vapes because the children are easily led. We must keep people in school until they're 18 because children are not ready for work. We should ban fast food adverts until after 9pm because the children are too fat. We must have age verification on social media because children can't handle the internet. Also we should let them vote.
Great work by Historic England here. Improving shop frontages is one of the easiest ways we can enhance our streets. This kind of intervention should not be limited to conservation areas: why should we invest in the public realm only where it is already relatively good?
This is infuriating and deeply sad. This is how the character of a city erodes away, building by building. It’s made all the worse by the replacement being a pile of trash and the glee of the company’s CEO to see it go.
This video helpfully illustrates how criminals victimise us all by changing the way we behave in public spaces.
I think we greatly underestimate the harms of crime when focus solely on specific crimes.
